Dear Mr. Lindsey:
In accordance with your application received September 3, 1991, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0005557, dated January 31, 1992, to Mini-Apolis Grand Prix Corporation for the

If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have
the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this
permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North

15. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.

Dear Permittee:
Our files indicate that the subject permit issued on 1/31/92 expires on
12/31/96. We have not received a request for renewal from you as of this date.
A renewal request shall consist of a letter requesting renewal and completion of
the enclosed application, submitted in triplicate. A processing fee must be submitted
with the request. Please find attached a copy of the 15 NCAC 2H .0205(c) regulations.
The processing fee for your facility is based on the design or permitted flow,
whichever is appropriate, listed in the first four categories of facilities. Sludge
renewals are based on total acres of land permitted. If the facility covered by this
permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative descripton of the sludge
management plan that is in effect at the facility must be submitted with the
application for renewal.
The Environmental Management Commission adopted revised rules on October 1, 1990
(attached), requiring the payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You
will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is approved.
Please be advised that this permit must not be allowed to expire. If the renewal
request is not received within 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date as
required by 15 NCAC 2H .0211, you will be assessed an automatic civil penalty. This
civil penalty by North Carolina General Statute may be as much as $10,000 per day. If
a permit renewal request is not received 180 days before permit expiration, a civil
penalty of at least $250 will be assessed. Larger penalties may be assessed depending

Page 2
on how late the request is made. In addition, any permit renewal request received
after the permit's expiration date will be considered as a. new application and will be
required to pay the higher permit application fee.
The letter requesting renewal, along with a completed Non -Discharge Permit
application and appropriate standard fee, should be sent to:
Permits and Engineering Unit
Division of Environmental Management
P. 0. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment,

Dear Mr. Stepp:
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute § 90A-37, the Water Pollution Control
System Operators Certification Commission is required to classify all water pollution control
systems. The Rating Scale for Classification of Wastewater Treatment Facilities, found at 15A
NCAC 8C .0002, was adopted by the Commission to classify water pollution control systems.
The rating scale assigns points to each component of the treatment process. The classification of
a facility is determined by the total number of points for all components of the treatment process.
The Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission hereby classifies the
subject facility as Grade 1 Wastewater Treatment Plant.
As required by 15A NCAC 8A .0202 and'.your permit, you are required to designate an Operator
in Responsible Charge (ORC) and back up operator of the appropriate type and grade for the
subject facility. Your facility requires a Wastewater Grade 1 or higher Wastewater Treatment
Plant Operator in Responsible Charge and Wastewater Grade 1 or higher back up operator.
Please complete and return the enclosed ORC designation form by May 1, 1997. Failure to.
designate a properly certified operator and back-up operator by the above date constitutes a
violation of the permit issued for this facility.
If you have any questions concerning this classification or the designation of an ORC, please
contact Barry Huneycutt or Dwight Lancaster at 919/733-0026.

I know this is probably an exercise in futility, but I was just sent two invoices for facilities that have not paid
their fees and the permit has been expired for some time. Do you have any current information on these
facilities.
The first is Biggers Arthur J - Jacobs Ruby (WQ0014294). Interestingly I found an internet post at
(hq]2://discussions travelchannel.com/eve/forums/a/tpe/f/6451970458/m/9821996488) that said...
"Interesting Information for you gem hunters. Jacobs Ruby Mine which has been closed since 1998 is
apparently still in operation. The new owner of the Land, Bates Cabins opens the flume to renters of Cabin 1
only. There is a two night minimum or you can rent by the week. The owner of Bates Cabins also told me the
Cherokee Gem Mine has recently re -opened after being closed for several years. This is great news for anyone
who knows the area. Jacobs was known for deep red rubies and fascia to blue sapphires. Cherokee mine is also
supposed to be a natural unsalted mine, but I never visited there as I was always at Jacobs. Anyone else have
feedback about Cherokee mine, let us know."
The second is Mini Apolis Grand Prix Corp (WQ005557). this one seems to be closed down. All I found for this
on is from littp•//www mytravelauide com/attractions/profile-69241605-
United States North Carolina Maggie Valley Mini Apolis Grand Prix Inc.html

/Jun 28, 2007/ /by/ *AC *from Waynesville, NC
* /We desperately needed some amusement places!/
* /The place went out as a completely dump!/
"This place was a great idea that was never kept up with and became a dump! It is now closed and all tracks etc
are gone. It became a real estate office. Yeah, we don't have enough realtors, lawyers or banks in Haywood
County (HA!) lets get rid of another amusement area, which are very few to begin with, and put up another of
these businesses!"
Both have been expired for many years (2002, and 2001 respectively). If they are still in operation we should
try to get the permit updated.
have a good weekend.

Mini Apolis Grand Prix Corporation
Haywood County
!UN 12 2013
Asheville Regional Office
John E. Skvarla, III
. Secretary
The subject permit has been revoked for failure to pay annual permit fees. Because these fees
were not paid the action was taken to revoke the subject permit, pursuant to Title 15A North
Carolina Administrative Code 2T.0110 and North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1(b). North
Carolina General Statutes 1A. Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a party that cannot with due
diligence be served by personal delivery, registered or certified mail, or by a designated delivery
service authorized pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 7502(0(2) may be served by publication. Service of
process by publication shall consist of publishing a notice of service of process by publication once a
week for three successive weeks in a newspaper that is qualified for legal advertising in accordance
with G.S.1-597 and G.S. 1-598 and circulated in the area where the party to be served is believed by
the serving party to be located, or if there is no reliable information concerning the location of the
party then in a newspaper circulated in the county where the action is pending.
The owner could not be contacted and the revocation was by public notice. A notice was run in
the Asheville Citizen Times on March 17, 2013, March 24, 2013, and March 31, 2013 with no
response received by the Division. These facilities have been closed and the permit owner could
not be located.
